I am trying this IDE for the first time and immediately I have issues. Running on latest update of Windows 10. If I select the Obsidian or Water theme, most of the line of text in the menu are so dim I canno9t see them unless I move the cursor over them and they get highlighted. Only Air seems to display everything correctly. I have a Nucleo board, L476RG, and tried to Create a new project, it did its magic downloading a few things and opened up a dashboard with sample code. At least I thought this was an example. It does not compile. The code calls main.h but there is no main.h in the example. I went to the website and tried to follow the steps to create a new project using an example, however the instructions say " Launch Embeetle IDE. Select **Download Sample Project** in the Home Window, as explained here:" but there is no selection called Download Sample Project. If you mean Create a new project from the list of specified boards, then that did not have a working example. ---

Hi @mdede439 , Please update to `Embeetle 1.6.1`. We just pushed this new release because there was a problem in fetching projects from the server in version `1.6.0`. As for starting a new project, please press `CREATE` in the Home Window: ![image](https://forum.embeetle.com/uploads/default/original/2X/f/fe7251c58e69fd2976b212a11ecc6f910b69dacb.png) Thanks for pointing out that the documentation isn’t updated yet. In the next window, you can select project `nucleo-l476rg`: ![image](https://forum.embeetle.com/uploads/default/original/2X/4/41b5ef25c2c05d67a5f10d4bb271800e65f91065.png) Click `APPLY` when asked to download the tools: ![image](https://forum.embeetle.com/uploads/default/original/2X/2/234d60f04b9acebf6328f81947806069cac0be4e.png) After downloading the tools, the project should open. Wait for the code analysis to complete (see green progressbar in the bottom-right corner): ![image](https://forum.embeetle.com/uploads/default/original/2X/3/3490cd2bb27ccf04818df12eb6dd77e2cb52e140.png) Finally, press the build button: ![image](https://forum.embeetle.com/uploads/default/original/2X/c/cbc51814b36f5f145029b2cf12e8abd481235c0f.png) Please let me know if it doesn’t build for you. ---

Only Air seems to display everything correctly. Hi @mdede439 , Thanks for this information, do you perhaps have a retina display monitor? Can you send me a screenshot of the Obsidian or Water text problem that you mentioned? I see it like this - Water: ![image](https://forum.embeetle.com/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9f2b01dcd699533501ed355fa8282f5eb8b6081a.png) - Obisidian: ![image](https://forum.embeetle.com/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5ed01c7f1563103e5c532ad79030319ffc742292.png) Thanks and best regards Matic ---

I just updated to 1.6.1 and the display is the same/ I am using a Dell S2417DG monitor as well as an old Lenovo screen as my second monitor, both running off a Nvidia GTX1050Ti. ![Embeetle Water](https://forum.embeetle.com/uploads/default/original/2X/8/81fdb7d9aa42a253fd22f230942acf240f03ec2b.png) ---

Still fails. I assume the build fails because there are a few files that cannot be found that are called in main.c. ![nucleo example](https://forum.embeetle.com/uploads/default/original/2X/f/fcac9da0ad44d72950efeb854e9fa6af27488386.png) ---

Hi @kristof I deleted everything and started again. Downloaded 1.6.0 and then immediately updated to 1.6.1. I do not see the analysis bar you speak of and like I said before there a lot of file missing. ![nucleo Filetree](https://forum.embeetle.com/uploads/default/original/2X/4/4a70dc8261b578a58a1972b80d611b9702471aeb.png) ---

Hi @mdede439 , I cannot reproduce the problems you report here on my computer. So I believe the only way to help you is to organize a remote session. Please install “Chrome Remote Desktop” and send me a mail when you’re available: [kristof@embeetle.com](mailto:kristof@embeetle.com) Kind regards, Kristof ---

Now, that’s really weird, as if some resource files are missing, because the check-marks are not correctly displayed. They should be images from `\beetle_core\resources`, but they seem to be render completely wrong, like the system’s theme or a backup theme. This is how it should look like: - Air: ![image](https://forum.embeetle.com/uploads/default/original/2X/3/34e6564e00c16ff357d45b7b4748d56c8b336447.png) - Water: ![image](https://forum.embeetle.com/uploads/default/original/2X/7/71029caa576e90621a8b4c04b2b4b6ee6a30ffc5.png) ---

Hi @kristof , I was able to get this working straight away under Linux, GREAT! I then unzipped the 1.6.1 version on a USB key and it worked under Windows 10, GREAT! I then copied the unzipped files from the USB key to a directory on my hard disk, and then it did not work, same errors. I then went through and erased everything that embeetle put on my hard disk and re-unzipped the 1.6.1 version. Now everything works including the themes and example nucleo sketch, GREAT!! I feel something happened when I installed the 1.6.0 version that lingered until I went through and systematically erased everything and started fresh with 1.6.1. ---

Hi @mdede439 , Great to see that it works now! Can you confirm that also the Obsidian and Water themes work? @matkuki : you have any idea why his previous installation didn’t work? Regards, Kristof ---

Hi @kristof , yes all the different themes work correctly. Hi @matkuki , I have no idea what went wrong. When I first installed it, ver 1.6.0, the Create project did nothing. I selected that option and nothing happened. I tried to delete the embeetle directory and try again butt something from Windows would not let me delete everything from that directory. Regardless I re-unzipped the program again on top of the same directory and residual files and Create worked, but I had other issues. Something happened with the first install and caused issues until I completely removed everything and started again fresh with 1.6.1.
